Factors such as domestic laws, increase in photovoltaic panel installations, and preference for solar PV modules as an alternative propel the global solar PV module market.

The global solar PV module market witnesses numerous opportunities, owing to rapid increase in development of renewable power in Asia-Pacific and LAMEA to cope up with the increase in electricity demand. The global solar PV module market generated $127.9 billion in 2020, and is anticipated to reach $260.2 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.4% from 2021 to 2030.

Increase in the number of solar PV module installations, use of solar PV panels as an economical alternative in the U.S., and the swift reduction in the cost of solar PV panels are the factors that drive the global solar PV module market. On the other hand, increase in grid connection issues, interconnection delays, and insufficient grid capacity hinder the market growth. However, surge in the price of fossil fuels is anticipated to offer many growth opportunities for market players.

Based on product, the monocrystalline segment accounted for the largest market share in 2020, contributing to nearly half of the total share, and is anticipated to maintain the lead during the forecast period. Moreover, this segment is anticipated to manifest the fastest CAGR of 7.8% from 2021 to 2030. The report has also covers other segments based on product namely, polycrystalline, cadmium telluride, amorphous silicon, and copper indium gallium diselenide.

Based on technology, the crystaline silicon segment contributed to the largest share in 2020, accounting for more than three-fourths of the global solar PV module market. The same segment is expected to lead throughout the forecast period, exhibiting the highest CAGR of 7.7% from 2021 to 2030. The report also talks about the thin film segment.

Based on region, Asia-Pacific, followed by North America and Europe, contributed to the highest share in 2020 holding nearly three-fifths of the total share, and is expected to maintain dominance throughout the forecast period. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to manifest the fastest CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period. The report also talks about LAMEA region.
